Art for the Court: a New Interpretation of Gerard De Lairesse's
TIM LUBBERS Art for the Court: A new interpretation of Gerard de Lairesse’s paintings for the Court of Appeal of Holland (1688-1689) Gerard de Lairesse (1640-1711), once one of the most popular Netherlandish painters, is little known today, largely as a consequence of the vilifijication to which he and his work were subjected in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.1 In recent years, happily, his oeuvre has experienced a revival, culminating in Eindelijk! De Lairesse in the Rijksmuseum Twente, the fijirst exhibition ever devoted to him.2 With his distinctive classicist style reflecting Raphael and French classicists like Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), De Lairesse, who came from Luik, was a prominent fijigure in Netherlandish painting in the period of 1660-1690. In the sixteen-eighties, at the height of his career, he was awarded prestigious commissions by Stadholder William III of Orange (1650-1702), among them ceiling paintings and works for his private apartments in Soestdijk Palace, but he also worked for Amsterdam merchants and patricians like Philips de Flines (1640-1700) and Andries de Graafff (1611-1678). The loss of his sight at the end of 1689 meant that he could no longer paint, but he reinvented himself as a creditable art theoretician. Regrettably, the impressive classicist decorations De Lairesse made in 1688-1689 for the civil council chamber of the Court of Appeal of Holland, Zeeland and West-Friesland (the ‘Hof van Holland’) did not appear in the exhibition. Being one of his few cycles that are still in situ, in what is now known as the ‘Lairesse Room’ in the Dutch parliamentary buildings at the Binnenhof, they can be described as De Lairesse’s most prestigious commission (fijig. -

LES découvertes récentes de l’ethnographie, de la philologie et de l’épigraphie, la multiplicité des explorations dans les diverses contrées du monde connu des anciens, la facilité des rapprochements entre les mœurs antiques et les habitudes actuelles des peuples qui ont joué un rôle dans le draine du passé, ont singulièrement modifié la physionomie de l’histoire. Aussi une révolution, analogue à celle que les recherches et les œuvres d’Augustin Thierry ont accomplie pour l’histoire de France, a-t-elle fait considérer sous un jour nouveau l’histoire de Rome et des peuples soumis à son empire. L’officiel et le convenu font place au réel, au vrai. Vico, Beaufort, Niebuhr, Savigny, Mommsen ont inauguré ou pratiqué un système que Michelet, Duruy, Quinet, Daubas, J.-J. Ampère et les historiens actuels de Rome ont rendu classique et populaire. Nous ne voulons pas dire qu’il ne faut pas recourir aux sources. On ne connaît l’histoire romaine que lorsqu’on a lu et étudié Salluste, César, Cicéron, Tite-Live, Florus, Justin, Velleius, Suétone, Tacite, Valère Maxime, Cornelius Nepos, Polybe, Plutarque, Denys d’Halicarnasse, Dion Cassius, Appien, Aurelius Victor, Eutrope, Hérodien, Ammien Marcellin, Julien ; et alors, quand on aborde, parmi les modernes, outre ceux que nous avons nommés, Machiavel, Bossuet, Saint- Évremond, Montesquieu, Herder, on comprend l’idée, que les Romains ont développée dans l’évolution que l’humanité a faite, en subissant leur influence et leur domination. -

Contesting the Greatness of Alexander the Great: the Representation of Alexander in the Histories of Polybius and Livy
ABSTRACT Title of Document: CONTESTING THE GREATNESS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT: THE REPRESENTATION OF ALEXANDER IN THE HISTORIES OF POLYBIUS AND LIVY Nikolaus Leo Overtoom, Master of Arts, 2011 Directed By: Professor Arthur M. Eckstein, Department of History By investigating the works of Polybius and Livy, we can discuss an important aspect of the impact of Alexander upon the reputation and image of Rome. Because of the subject of their histories and the political atmosphere in which they were writing - these authors, despite their generally positive opinions of Alexander, ultimately created scenarios where they portrayed the Romans as superior to the Macedonian king. This study has five primary goals: to produce a commentary on the various Alexander passages found in Polybius’ and Livy’s histories; to establish the generally positive opinion of Alexander held by these two writers; to illustrate that a noticeable theme of their works is the ongoing comparison between Alexander and Rome; to demonstrate Polybius’ and Livy’s belief in Roman superiority, even over Alexander; and finally to create an understanding of how this motif influences their greater narratives and alters our appreciation of their works.

Virtue, Violence, and Victors: the Role of Pudicitia in Livy's Ab Urbe Condita
Ellen Snyder Virtue, Violence, and Victors: The Role of Pudicitia in Livy's Ab Urbe Condita Introduction This paper explores the highly gendered role of chastity (pudicitia) in the work of the Roman historian, Titus Livius. Livy, who lived from around 64 B.C.E to 12 C.E., composed a monumental work, the Ab Urbe Condita, which traced Rome's history from its mythic beginnings to 9 B.C.E. While only a fraction of the work remains, the Ab Urbe Condita provides insight into how one writer viewed Roman expansion and how he used the framework of gender to give shape to his vision of Rome's history. Pudicitia While rape within Livy's Ab Urbe Condita has received much scholarly attention, the role that pudicitia plays within this context and within the history as a whole has often been overlooked. Rebecca Langlands' recent monograph, Sexual Morality in Ancient Rome, has taken an important step towards addressing this lacuna in scholarship. Langlands (2006: 115), however, quickly passes over one key aspect of Livy's use of pudicitia; the term is applied only to women and children. In the works of other Roman authors of the late Republic and early Empire, pudicitia is presented as a value important to women and men alike. Livy's break with tradition calls for further exploration. It will be my argument that Livy's conception of pudicitia is an integral part of his construction of sexual violence and its relationship to Roman power at home and abroad. Pudicitia is presented as the possession of those who are most vulnerable to attack. -

İSTANBUL ÜNİVERSİTESİ SOSYAL BİLİMLER ENSTİTÜSÜ TARİH ANA BİLİM DALI ESKİÇAĞ TARİHİ BİLİM DALI YÜKSEK LİSANS TEZİ CORNELII SCIPIONES: ROMA’NIN KADERİNİ ÇİZMİŞ BİR AİLENİN TARİHİ VE MİRASI Mehmet Esat Özer 2501151298 Tez Danışmanı Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Gürkan Ergin İSTANBUL-2019 ÖZ CORNELII SCIPIONES: ROMA’NIN KADERİNİ ÇİZMİŞ BİR AİLENİN TARİHİ VE MİRASI MEHMET ESAT ÖZER Scipio ailesinin tarihi neredeyse Roma Cumhuriyeti’nin kendisi kadar eskidir. Scipio’lar Roma Cumhuriyeti’nde yüksek memuriyet görevlerinde en sık yer almış ailelerinden biri olup yükselişleri etkileyicidir. Roma’nın bir varoluş mücadelesi verdiği Veii Savaşları’ndan yükselişe geçtiği Kartaca Savaşları’na Roma Cumhuriyet tarihinin en kritik anlarında sahne alarak Roma’nın Akdeniz Dünyası’nın egemen gücü olmasına katkıda bulunmuşlardır. Aile özellikle Scipio Africanus, Scipio Aemilianus gibi isimlerin elde ettiği başarılarla Roma aristokrasisinde ön plana çıkarak Roma’nın siyasi ve askeri tarihinin önemli olaylarında başrol oynamıştır. Bu tezde Scipio ailesi antik yazarların eserleri ve arkeolojik veriler ışığında incelenerek ailenin geçmişi; siyasi, sosyal, kültürel alanlardaki faaliyetleriyle katkıları ve Roma’nın emperyal bir devlete dönüşmesindeki etkileri değerlendirilecektir. Konunun kapsamı sadece ailenin Roma Cumhuriyet tarihindeki yeriyle sınırlı kalmayıp sonraki dönemlerde de zamanın şartlarına göre nasıl algılandığına da değinilecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Cornelii Scipiones, Scipio, Roma Cumhuriyeti, Aristokrasi, Scipio Africanus, Scipio Aemilianus, Kartaca, Emperyal.
